What happened

A 21-19 lead with two minutes left, and somehow J.Slye trots out for a 29-yard chip shot at the buzzer to end it. The C.Ward dagger to C.Ridley for 38 set it up, but the autopsy starts earlier — at the D.Taylor-Demerson interception at the ARI 5 that should have been the closing argument. K.Murray's 44-yard strike to M.Harrison feels like it happened in a different season. The rebuild questions aren't rhetorical anymore.
